Nail Trend "The V Gap"

I find the name somewhat questionable, but hey, that's how the article addressed it...meh. What can you do? Anyway, I discovered this new nail trend online. It reminds me slightly of a crackle manicure, but you can do it with any polish, not just a specified crackling one.

It seems like the technician in the photo used special tools to create that look but I found that it's actually surprisingly simple to recreate the idea armed with just a bog standard nail polish brush. Using No7 nail polishes in "Berrylicious" and "Beautiful Black", I did a quick interpretation of it below.

Apologies for the poor quality pictures - I have no idea what was going on, but I just /could not/ photograph this without the blurriness. Adjusted the lights and everything. I think it was just one of those days :(

For my other hand, I reversed the polish order, so instead of pink on black, it became black on pink.

What do you guys think? I'm not sure I'd make it into a regular thing but it's pretty interesting and a talking point. Now, if someone could tweak the name slightly...
